Back on plot to day to move my manure off the lotty road where it's been sitting for weeks until my back got better.  Felt crap this morning but again back getting better as day wore on, except for about the last hour but I kept going as the pile was getting smaller.  I managed to shift it all.  Hurray.  My husband is still on the plot putting up the second hand shed and it's nearly 7.00 pm - such dedication.

I'm going to log off now and get a well deserved glass of wine.   :)

Good stuff Nobbyman.  Congrats!  After a first good days digging on the plot, I discovered muscles that had lain dormant for many a year.  And everyone grows bubby, even if they don't like it, after all, makes great compostable matter, and the stems can be plonked in brassica planting holes to reduce the risk of clubroot, and I'm sure the leaves can be used for something....altho they are poisonous....is that it, an insect repellant....

A friend of mine soaks the leaves of bubby in water for a couple of days or so and then uses the water to spray on aphids

It's a second early and it says in the catalogue it should be planted from early March onwards.  I'd get them in - weather permitting o course  ;D
